WARNOCK IS SPEAKER AT ROTARY LUNCH At the Rotary luncheon at the La Grande hotel today, Oscar Warnock gave an exceptionally interesting I lustrated talk on the subject "What Is Worse Than War?" He called at tention to the fact that during the war in the A. E. r. lorce mere were A 50,510 killed, in the 18 months tm i mediately preceding Dec. 31, 1930 there were 50,900 killed in automo bile accidents. In 1930 thero were 962.325 people injured, which was more than the population of Oregon during that period the actual population being 053,781. . The annual economic loss from automobile accidents is $2,000,000,000, which is four times as much as that from fire. In 1030 there were 25,000 killed in industrial accidents as against 32,500 from automobile accidents. Of these deaths 54.9 per cent were Vi of persons in the productive period of their lives, that is from ages of 15 to 54. The lesson from these figures is that every automobile driver and every pedestrian should be more care ful, he says. An interesting feature at the luncheon was the life history of An- gus McAllister as related by Andrew Loney. A visitor was A. L. Strong, of the Oregon Natural Gas corporation. WRATIIKK FOKKCAST ?
